Got a growler of that in the fridge right now. Like everything else they brew, it's first rate. Can't wait to get home tonight.

Bruce,
Since you missed the last two Buffalo shows, you'd better stop by booth 1425/1524!

Fred 07-14-2014 10:43 AM

I actually like Cleveland as the site for the Nat'l.

You're at the top of my list! Hope you've got some T205's for me.

It's actually been 3 shows I've missed. Had some surgeries and relapses, but now I'm good to go. I really tried to make the last one, it just didn't work out.

Looking forward to seeing you and Gary.

I'll be there Friday 8/1 and hopefully 8/2 as well! Can't wait. My 8 year-old is even excited. His first. Browns training camp is less than 2 miles away too. Preregistration is required (free) from the Browns. Great time for Cleveland sports - LeBron, Johnny and the National.

timn1 07-14-2014 05:45 PM

We will be there (selling this time)!
 
Mike Peich and I will be there (sharing table 1820 with Scott Forrest and David Rudd) with some good stuff from our own collections to sell- stop by and say hi-

Tim

Didn't you volunteer to buy everyone from the board a round?

I'll be there Friday and Saturday with my Net54 buddy (and childhood buddy) Bryan Long. Haven't been to one since 2007. Looking forward to throwing money away! :)

For anyone wanting to throw away their money, I will have a bushel basket at my table and a garbage bag when that's filled.

sebie43 07-19-2014 06:56 AM

I will be there on Friday for my first National, I look forward to meeting some of you.

Hawaii is awesome but it will still be there. The National is the place for card addicts to congregate. Come join us if you can!!

National
 
I will be at the National the entire time (Tuesday thru Saturday) at the Goldin Auctions booth. A few quick things:

1) I consider my role at Goldin (or anywhere for that matter) as an opportunity to serve others. That said, if there is anyway I can assist anyone here in any way please let me know. That includes helping you even if you are not doing business with us.

2) While many of you know my past experience had a high degree of focus on game used memorabilia, I have been doing more recently with trading cards and autographed memorabilia. As such, although I don't post on here often, I enjoy reading some of your posts and would love to chat about cards at the National with anyone interested.

3) I was very happy to see LeBron coming back to Cleveland. I hope with LeBron, and the supporting cast they are assembling, the team can bring much needed enthusiasm (at least for sports) to a city that needs it. Also, I figure any city that names their basketball team the "Cavaliers" can't be all bad :)

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Sincerely,
Chris

For those of you with more Cleveland knowledge than me - what is the best way to get to/from the convention center to downtown Cleveland?

thanks

I-71 North. The IX Center is right by an entrance ramp for 71. This will take you right into downtown Cleveland.

Where are you going downtown and I can maybe give you more specific directions.

boysblue 07-21-2014 01:01 PM

cab fare to ballpark
 
Paul

Can you "guesstimate" how much cab fare would be from a hotel near the IX Center to Progressive Field? And would finding a taxi post-game be at all problematic?

Thank you

If it's anything like LA rates it would be roughly $50-$60.

Sorry, I should have mentioned via public transportation as I will be without a car.

thanks

Sean's probably right, about 50 bucks one way.

There is a commuter train that makes a stop in the airport and goes downtown (costs $2-3 1way). I would suggest that. IX Center i right next to the airport.

The Rapid located in the Airport - $2-3 1way. Drops you off in Tower City, next to the casino, a short walk to Jacobs Field.

Could I Then easily get from the airport to the Convention Center?

thanks

Jewish-collector 07-21-2014 05:14 PM

Bob - See if your hotel shuttle can take you to one of the commuter train stops, if not directly downtown.

BruceinGa 07-23-2014 03:07 PM

I've had a change of plans and won't be attending the National. I hope everyone has a great time!

CW 07-23-2014 07:56 PM

Thanks, Bruce! Hopefully you can make it next year.

I'll be stopping by SGC's booth to have some cards reholdered, as well as perusing the floor to meet some friends and check out some cards. I think I have everything in order....

Backpack? Check!
